Book Nook: Girl Last Seen

I recently had a chance to review the book Girl Last Seen. It's truly a book for modern times, taking a look at a rise to Youtube fame and some of the complications that can come with it.

Kadence Mulligan's star was rising. She and her best friend, Lauren DeSanto, watched their songs go viral on YouTube, then she launched a solo career when a nasty throat infection paralyzed Lauren's vocal chords. Everyone knows Lauren and Kadence had a major falling-out over Kady's boyfriend. But Lauren knows how deceptive Kadence could be sometimes. And nobody believes Lauren when she claims she had nothing to do with the disappearance. Or the blood evidence… As the town and local media condemns Lauren, she realizes the only way to clear her name is to discover the truth herself. Lauren slowly unravels the twisted life of Kadence Mulligan and sees that there was more to her than she ever knew. But will she realize she's unknowingly playing a part in an elaborate game to cover up a crime before it's too late?

It's a mystery that had enough twists to keep me guessing, and is written in a fast-paced, modern style, perfect for readers who are used to snippets and quick blurbs of entertainment. It was a very enjoyable read and is perfect for a lazy summer day!
